Taking the train in via the LIRR Going to the city that isn't too far The view I see in front of me is chilling The legendary skyline with all the tall buildings My train stops and to my elation, I've finally arrived at Penn Station Time to roam free like a kid in a candy store Time to run around the city that keeps me wanting more Where to start out first is always a decision Gotta plan my route out with fine precision Start from a borough and work my way in Wish I could split up like cell division Start off in a place I call my 2nd home The borough that sounds like ladies in their throne I can go on about Astoria and back But I already wrote a song about it; listen to the track Now I'm on my way to the BK Starting in Williamsburg to continue my day The hipsters walking around in their skinny jeans Di Chasidim misphokhe geyt shpatsiren Then to Park Slope for a veggie nosh The buildings are old but the town has panache Now as much as I want to stay put Time to go to Manhattan via the Williamsburg Bridge on foot Taking the walking path and staying within the line I look above me and I'm amused by a sign It's official and true to the NY spirit within It says, "Oh Vey! Now you're leaving Brooklyn" I make my way to the Lower East Side It has an aura that gentrification can't hide The immigrants built the city's progress The tenement buildings are old but the history is priceless Walk up past NYU and Union Square Stop at the market to get some local flair Continue past Flatiron, Midtown, and more Then to Central Park and all its allure My favorite part is that lovely pond, where all the Ducks and geese have a playful bond, and the turtles crawl up on the rocks and relax outside They've got the right idea they've got their pride Then I walk through the trees and the many greens with all the cement in the city this is something we really need There's another pond where you can rent a canoe Relax from the city life and daydream for a few Then if you're a Beatles fan like I am You'll make your way towards the direction of Amsterdam Towards the Dakota Building at 72nd Walk to Strawberry Fields to admire a legend I come to a decision that's hard to decide, it's Whether to go to the Upper East or West Side The East is new money with its luxury stores, the West is old money with museums galore Forget it, I'll walk up to Morningside Heights, to look at the one-of-a-kind architectural sites, like the Cathedral of St. John the Divine, and a Statue of Duke Ellington with his Steinway Finally I'll go to my last destination The site of the baseball team sensation The Bronx Bombers and their swanky new pad Yankees stadium is hoppin' with fans cheering mad But with baseball I have to be fair With my old family trips I couldn't help but stare, at the Lights on what's now known as "Old Shea" For me the memories of that can't go away But anyway back to what I was sayin' Running around New York City doing NYC playin', and Hours and hours after the sun sets, I Realize that this is as great as life gets Though I should go back to my house on Long Island, Relax from my senses that were heightened, but Not too worry this trek isn't far, I can Always make a trip on the LIRR Sorry if my reminiscing is a little long, but I had to put my love for New York in a song It's not the first and it's not the last Well what can I say, the city's a blast I have so much love for the city you might think I'm crazy I have so many memories but none of them are hazy I speak well for a city that deserves much praise I'll have NY in my heart, for forever and always

Oh you are such a good boy I want you bad, bad, bad You seem awfully lonely, you look so sad, sad, sad When I get myself on top of you I'll drive you mad I walk by your side and catch your eye, eye, eye I give you a tease and pinch your thigh, thigh, thigh Wanna take you home, and show you why I want to rip off your clothes, like nobody knows and arouse everything that shows And then we'll play in a fantastical way, and you'll tingle from your head to your toes You hit your peak you let out a cry, cry, cry, And there you lay rested, satisfied, -fied, -fied, You're like a drink, you're intoxified Oh I ripped off your clothes, like nobody knows, and aroused everything that shows And then we played in a fantastical way, and you tingled from your head to your toes My oh my, my oh my, my oh my

Walkin' to Martha's, gonna 
buy me a cupcake, gonna
 put my prosperity in, 
 For Astoria's sake

 Then for a lark, I'm gonna
 walk through Astoria Park
 gonna take a scenic break
 For Astoria's sake (middle part - la la la laaaaaa...) Then, like a prawess, I'm gonna raid Pizza Palace Gonna splurge on my caloric intake For Astoria's Sake Seven One Eight, where the scene is great, want all the drinks that they can make For Astoria's sake, go to all the parties that I can partake For Astoria's sake Gonna party til I can't stay awake For Astoria's sake

And if I get lost, I'll try to find my way And if I lose my faith, only god can save But if I lose you, I don't know what I would do And if the smile leaves your eyes everything dies Forget about finding them, when you have to find yourself And if you lose a friend, it's not like the world will end But if I lose you, I don't know what I would do, And if the smile leaves your eyes everything dies (Random Russian: My name is Julie, my turtle's name is Izzy, i like chocolate, I grew up on Long Island) Forget about finding them, when you have to find yourself And if you lose a friend, it's not like the world will end But if I lose you, I don't know what I would do, And if the smile leaves your eyes everything dies, everything dies.

Treated you like a king Wanted to be your queen For all of the breakfasts I made and affection displayed For all the kisses on your face and cuddles in your embrace For endless compliments I gave A bond I wanted to save For the times you lied And the days I've cried I thank god you'll never hurt me again you'll never hurt me again For empty promises unkept While I sat home and wept Empty feelings preserved Treatment I never deserved In life you weren't bored While I was ignored For all the heartbreaking pain Listening to "Crying In the Rain" For the times you lied And the days I've cried I thank god you'll never hurt me again you'll never hurt me again For the pain I feel now It will end somehow I'll know for now and years You never deserved my tears I'll take it in strife This ended chapter in my life With lonely feelings surpressed I wish you the best For the times you lied And the days I've cried I thank god you'll never hurt me again you'll never hurt me again

When the lights go out we're perfect But when the lights come on I'm nervous When the lights go out we're merging But when the lights come on diverging There's honesty then there's you There's beauty then there's me There's harmony then there's you and me There's harmony then there's you and me Red flags red lights Stop signs stop lights Won't stop us from this car crash Our love is a car crash When the lights go out we're ideal But when the lights come on it's unreal When the lights go out atomic But when the lights come on bubonic There's integrity then there's you There's sanity then there's me There's harmony then there's you and me There's harmony then there's you and me Red flags red lights Stop signs stop lights Won't stop us from this car crash Our love is a car crash When the lights go out we're soulmates But when the lights come on it's checkmate When the lights go out you'd marry me But when the lights come on you'd kill me There's truth then there's you There's security then there's me There's true love then there's you and me There's true love then there's you and me Red flags red lights Stop signs stop lights Won't stop us from this car crash Our love is a car crash Our love is a car crash Our love is a car crash Our love is a ---

Oh I've been waiting for this, my whole life 
I'm waiting for the day for you to call me your wife 
Get down on one knee 
Ask for matrimony

 I'm waiting for a ring it doesn't have to be huge, all that 
matters is it's something thoughtful coming from you, and I will
 show it off to my friends, and I will
 wear it til my life ends 

The sun will be smiling and the bluebirds will sing 
The flowers will be fragrant and bells will ring 
I hope it's on the way, I 
can't wait for my special day 

We'll have a bangin' boda I don't know where; I'll have 
something old and new and borrowed and blue in my hair, And 
I'll be dressed in white
 beaming with delight My husband will be handsome dressed in his suit With a smile on his face he'll be looking all cute And then when time allows We'll exchange our vows The sun will be smiling and the bluebirds will sing
 Flowers will be fragrant and bells will ring 
I hope it's on the way, I 
can't wait for my special day I'll kindly tell my husband to prepare With my family's tradition we'll be lifted on chairs And I'll await the best thing We'll both get our rings! (rings!) A holy man will read a verse or two Then we'll look at each other and say, "I do", And then we'll have a blast And we'll be married at last! The sun will be smiling and the bluebirds will sing The flowers will be fragrant and bells will ring People will cheer and confetti will fling We'll be excited for what life will bring The sun will be smiling and the bluebirds will sing I'll be his queen and he'll be my king I hope it's on the way I can't wait for my special day

What does it feel like to have someone to talk with What does it feel like to have someone to confide in Seems like everyone has someone special that they can talk with If there's someone for me I'd say You are my best friend 8x I am calm and content and a good listener But when I need people for me, they're gone I am a caring person so why is no one around to care for me? You are my best friend 4x Where is my best friend? 4x For me in life I've always had a boyfriend as a best friend Pardon me for this disgruntled attitude But what have I done in life to deserve this solitude? Oh! You are my best friend 12x Where is my best friend? 4x

I‘m not a pleasant gal You’ll do exactly as I tell I’ll beat down your morale, and make your life a living hell You’ll do exactly as I say Bow down to my grace For mercy you shall pray As I spit in your face You expect me to smile, not likely I won't be your slave, oh, you'll be mine Because the queen always gets her way (instrumental) I‘m not a pleasant gal You’ll do exactly as I tell I’ll beat down your morale, and make your life a living hell You’ll do exactly as I say Bow down to my grace For mercy you shall pray, because the queen always gets her way The queen always gets her way 3x
